The Nanking Kuomintang are reported to have determined to call upon the Chinese generally to boycott the Japanese because. of their recent mobilisation in Shantung.
Evidently doubtful in what divertion their Generalissimo, Feng, will ultimately jump, the Hankow "Reds" have sent a depniation comprising no less dignified a personage than their Minister of Justice and two ladies to persuade him (Feng Yu Hsiang) to "trughlue" to the "Reds." Not unnaturally they fer that it is somewhat inconsistent of their Generalissimo to continge to find it expedient to work in conjunction with Nanking. Shansi's fuchun is evidently in action in his new role, as he is reported to have declared martial law in Taiyuenfu, the capital of his model "province and, likewise, to be kreping a keen eye on any thing in the shape of rowdy Red" elements.
